Romani people in North Macedonia
Ethnic group
The sedentary Arlije are the main group of the Romani people in North Macedonia , and the majority live in Šuto Orizari Municipality . They are Muslim Romani . There are various subgroups of the Arlije, named after their traditional occupations,[ 1] living in North Macedonia ,[ 2] [ 3] Kosovo , and southern Southern Serbia (geographical region) , and Montenegro .[ 3] [ 4] Beside Macedonian and Albanian , they speak the Arli dialect of Balkan Romani .[ 5] The word Arlije (singular Arli) is derived from the Turkish word yerli (meaning "native" or "settled"),[ 6] as does the name Erlides (Greek : Ερλίδες , of a similar group living in Greece,[ 1] [ 7] [ 8] and the Sofia-Erli in Bulgaria.[ 9] The biggest settlement of Arlije is in Šuto Orizari in North Macedonia. In East Thrace at Turkey , they are called Yerli Romanlar and only speak Rumelian Turkish .[ 10]
Many Arlije have moved to Austria and Germany as guest workers . Some Arli men have married Austrian and German women.[ 8] [ 11]
Genetics
While the Early Romani people traces back to the Indian subcontinent ,[ 12] gene flow from the Ottoman Turks also spilled over and established a higher frequency of the Y-haplogroups J and E3b in Balkan Roma Groups.[ 13] The Greek doctor A. G. Paspati made also the statement in his Book, that Turks married often Roma woman.[ 14] Greek-Slavic DNA also in the Balkan Roma people.[ 15]
